The Ministry of Magic.
The Ministry of Magic to Harry's surprise was completely visible. The only protection was a large fence, and a sign ordering no trespassing. The group hurriedly walked past the fence, in fear of Sirius escaping. Once up a long
sidewalk Fudge mouthed a password into an old oak door, and it opened to
reveal a dark room. The wizards escorted them in and closed the door
emitting them to total darkness. Suddenly lights flared from every
direction. They were standing in a grand atrium that was draped in gold. "Out of the way" fudge ordered importantly. He ushered the group through a
door on the left. Fudge ordered an assistant to round up the wizengomot.
After about half an hour Wormtail, and Sirius sat in chained chairs. "We
are here for the trail of convicted murderer Sirius Black, and er Peter
Pettigrew, what!" Fudge exclaimed "Black killed him 15 years ago. That
can't be right. "But of course it is Cornelius" Dumbledore, if it hadn't been for Mr. Pettigrew here Mr. Black would be dead. "As well he should" roared Fudge. "On the contrary Cornelius Mr. Black here is completely innocent' "Purpostruss" Pettigrew spat. "I agree with..." he spaced of and his face turned pale. He sat in silence now realizing that there was a possibility that Sirius Black was indeed innocent. "Mrs. Swanson, kindly fetch some veistrum, we are going to hear Mr. Blacks case. The woman named Swanson ran off into another room and came back ten minutes later with two viles of veistrum. Sirius had no objections to taking it but peter put up quite a fight. "Minister this is ridicules" Pettigrew pleaded. "Just do it Mr. Pettigrew. Reluctantly Peter did as he was told. "Now Mr. Black what happened that night 15 years ago" Fudge asked. Sirius told his story in very vivid as Wormtail shrunk in his chair. Sirius finished and smiled coldly at Pettigrew. "Is this true Pettigrew" fudge demanded. "Yea" Wormtail cried. "I did it was me who betrayed the Potters ME!" Peter roared. Sirius laughed heartily. Fudge thought for a moment then, "Take Mr. Pettigrew straight to Azkaban." Fudge finished. "Sirius Black you are freed of all charges. Fudge started to get up to leave but Sirius halted him. "Wait I spent 13 years of my life in prison for something I didn't do, so what do I get." Sirius asked. "Er... well what did you have in mind." "Thought you'd never asked. 'I want my Gringots vault back, I want my Aurur, and" he paused "I want custody of Harry. Harry who was watching the whole thing unravel froze. "Well I don't see anything wrong with those; you can have custody of Mr. Potter as long as he doesn't have any objections. "Objections" Harry started "No way"
